Given a finite-dimensional algebra [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we construct a new algebra [Formula: see text], called the stretched algebra, and relate the homological properties of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We investigate Hochschild cohomology and the finiteness condition (Fg), and use stratifying ideals to show that [Formula: see text] has (Fg) if and only if [Formula: see text] has (Fg). We also consider projective resolutions and apply our results in the case where [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-Koszul algebra for some [Formula: see text].

Condition (Fg) was introduced in [6] to ensure that the theory of support varieties of a finite dimensional algebra, established by Snashall and Solberg, has some similar properties to that of a group algebra. In this paper we give some easy to check combinatorial conditions that are equivalent to (Fg) for monomial d-Koszul algebras. We then extend this to monomial (D, A)-stacked algebras. We also extend the description of the Yoneda algebra of a d-Koszul algebra in [11] to (D, A)-stacked monomial algebras.

An algebra has been constructed from a (D, A)-stacked algebra A, under the conditions that , A 1 and . It is shown that when the construction of algebra B is built from a (D, A)-stacked monomial algebra A then B is a d-Koszul monomial algebra.

Given an exterior algebra  over a finite dimension vector space v, and let   , where  is a graded ideal in . The relation between the algebra  and    regarding to -quadratic and - quadratic will be investigated. We show that the algebra   is - quadratic if and only if   is - quadratic. Furthermore, it has been shown that the algebra  is - quadratic if and only if  is - quadratic.

Given a finite-dimensional algebra Λ and A 1, we construct a new algebra ΛA, called the stretched algebra, and relate the homological properties of Λ and ΛA. We investigate Hochschild cohomology and the finiteness condition (Fg), and use stratifying ideals to show that Λ has (Fg) if and only if ΛA has (Fg). We also consider projective resolutions and apply our results in the case where Λ is a d-Koszul algebra for some d 2.
